Amazon drops Fitbit Ace fitness tracker for kids to $60 on Prime Day

By Drake Hawkins July 16, 2019

We scoured Amazon during Prime Day to make it easier for you to spot great discounts on tech for kids. If you are looking for a budget-friendly gift for your preteen, consider the Fitbit Ace. You can get this fitness tracker — in

Electric Blue

or

Power Purple

— for just $60 during this 48-hour event.

The usually $100 Fitbit Ace gets a steep 40% price cut on Amazon just in time for the summer break. This deal will attract other parents who are looking to save on gadgets designed for kids, so place your order now while stock is available.

Ages 8 to 13 is a crucial time for children to get in the habit of moving. Encourage them to stay active with the Fitbit Ace. This fitness band tracks your kids’ steps, physical activity, and sleep. When a milestone or achievement is reached, your kid will be rewarded with congratulatory messages and fun badges.

Sync your children’s Fitbit Aces with an iOS or Android device to view their stats through the Fitbit App. Then, you need to set up a family account and a separate account for each child. The Parent’s View will give you an in-depth view of your kids’ activities. The Kids’ View is more restricted and can be turned on or off by you, the parent. It will only let your children see their stats, badges, and more.

The Fitbit Ace is designed with your child’s growth in mind. Its band can be adjusted to accommodate growth, especially on pre-adolescent kids. And in the essence of building positive habits, it will not display calorie count, body fat percentage, and other information that can impact kids negatively.

If you are around preteens, you know that they can start getting their own styles at this age. You can have them choose between the blue and purple bands that are available for the Fitbit Ace. They can further personalize their fitness trackers by switching among the 10 available clock faces.

Get your not-so-little-ones the Fitbit Ace and get them started to a healthy lifestyle. You can get the

Electric Blue

and

Power Purple

fitness bands on Amazon at only $60 each. Order now while the deal is available.

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet laying on a desk.

If you're looking for a new tablet in this year's Prime Day deals but you haven't found one that speaks to you yet, you may want to consider going for the Amazon Fire Max 11. From the 64GB, ad-supported version's original price of $230, you can get it for just $150 after a 35% discount from Amazon, which will let you pocket $80 in savings. With the shopping event wrapping up soon, we're not sure if this offer will remain available, so to make sure that you get this tablet for much cheaper than usual, you're going to have to push through with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet
The Amazon Fire Max 11, which was just rolled out two months ago, is certainly looking like it will eventually take the place of the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus in our roundup of the best Android tablets as the top choice for Amazon fans. It begins with the device's 11-inch screen with 2,000 x 1,200 resolution, which offers natural colors and strong blacks to make watching streaming content very enjoyable. The Amazon Fire Max 11 promises a battery life of up to 14 hours to keep you company during long commutes, and while its 64GB storage is limiting, you can get up to 1TB of extra space with a microSD card.

If you're starting to take your fitness goals more seriously, you might want to start tracking your weight with a smart scale. If you just don't have a scale and need one, this could be your best option. Right now the Etekcity Smart Scale is only $21 as part of Prime Day deals. That's down 30% from its usual price of $30. This is officially labeled a Prime Day deal, so it will likely end at midnight on July 12. If you need a scale, grab this one before then. If you don't even know why you'd need a smart scale, read on.

Why you should buy the Etekcity Smart Scale
There are two reasons you should buy one of the best smart scales. The first is that it measures a lot more than weight. This Etekcity has the ability to measure 13 different biometrics, including BMI and body fat percentage. It does this with sensors built into the scale. All you have to do is stand on it barefoot. It also has settings for weighing babies and pets, so you can track your toddler's growth spurts and Fido's diet progress.
